Leans Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on apolitical themes of love, self-worth, and moral integrity, portraying an individual's journey to autonomy within societal constraints rather than explicitly promoting a modern political ideology. Its critiques of social injustice are framed through personal struggle and resilience.
This adaptation of Jane Eyre features traditional casting consistent with its 19th-century British setting, without intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative explores themes relevant to its historical context, such as class and gender roles, but does not frame traditional identities negatively through an explicit DEI lens.
Secondary
The film critiques the hypocrisy and cruelty of certain religious figures (e.g., Mr. Brocklehurst) and the rigid asceticism of others (St. John Rivers). However, it ultimately affirms a compassionate, morally upright, and personal faith through characters like Helen Burns and Jane Eyre herself, who finds strength and guidance in genuine Christian virtues. The narrative condemns the abuse of religion, not the faith itself.
